    I legitimately think the Blazers have a better coach than the Lakers now.

    Mike Brown is a horrible coach. I dare say I agree Nate might be a better coach than him.......Might be

    Another 2000+ shot season for Kobe, I reckon.

    Get him on your fantasy team now.

    Bingo!

    I strongly suspect that Kobe's fingerprints are all over this hire. We know Brown doesn't mind bending over for his "star", whereas Adelman might actually (gasp!) act like a coach.

    I think Brown will not have to worry about appeasing Kobe, in Cleveland the whole organization was frozen in terror that they may lose LBJ when he becomes a free agent, so everybody ran in a panic trying to do whatever they could to immediately help him.

    Kobe is locked up long term for massive dollars, the team can use him however they want in whatever manner gives them the best chance of success.

    Also, with Kobe's mileage and injuries I don't think he wants a coach sucking up to him or giving him 25 shots a night, he would welcome some teammates carrying more of the offensive load so Kobe can be more rested entering the playoffs.

    Don't the Lakers know that a guy who hasn't coached in the NBA Finals in 20 years was available?
